Parliament has invited your views on the Turkana Oil FDP that we are considering currently. You should pay attention because this is Ruto’s biggest scandal yet.

1. The ownership of the Company that is to produce the oil (Gulf Energy, Formerly Tullow) changed names and hands multiple times in a matter of weeks. Days even. Your lawyer will tell you thats symptomatic of attempts to mask real ownership. It is telling that the current FDP was approved by government days after the last ownership changes.

2. The Original production contract has been varied a million times. Most notably on 25th November 2025 just days after the last ownership changes, to raise the maximum recoverable cost for petroleum production from the initial 55% to 85%. Kenyans will never see any real benefit from that oil.

3. On the same day Clause 27(2)(b) was amended to expand the definition of capital
expenditure to include expenditure on labour, fuel, repairs, maintenance,
hauling, mobilisation and supplies and materials relating to production,
development, exploration and appraisal and decommissioning costs. We may basically never see a coin from our oil.

4. Crucially, we in the Senate passed the Local Content bill which requires the oil company to utilize locally available resources including labour and supplies. They have cleverly made the current agreement with Gulf exempt from such legislation.

We don’t have leaders. We have dealers in government who don’t care about anything other than themselves.

The problem with UK diaspora Nigerians in particular is that you don't know the history of Black UK immigration, so you don't know your place in that system.

You've never heard of Enoch Powell, or the Windrush era, or "No dogs, Blacks or Irish," or why the UK ever admitted Black migrants in the first place. You think your 2019 "japa" is something that just happened devoid of historical or geopolitical context, based on your personal effort and hard work.

You think your UK skilled worker/care visa makes you a hardworking, educated, taxpaying, contributing member of British society, and you get offended when that recognition is consistently denied to you. Because you don't understand your role in British society and why they gave you that visa.

The first Black UK immigrants in the modern era (the so-called Windrush generation from the Caribbean) were enticed to move to the UK between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, with promises of higher wages than they could get for their skills at home. The immigration pathway was even easier for them than for you, because they were classed as citizens of the British empire, and they did not need visas to move to England.

Due to a shortage of men after WW2, Britain needed labour to rebuild its destroyed infrastructure and revitalise its economy and tax receipts. Hundreds of thousands of men from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, St Lucia, etc brought their skills, energy and families to contribute to the UK, like you lot are doing today. The post-WW2 London Underground and the wider Transport For London network were built and staffed almost entirely by Jamaican men. At a point, TFL opened recruitment offices in the Caribbean to recruit migrants directly from there - such was its dependence on West Indian migrants to keep London's economy functioning (sound familiar?)

There is nothing great about the UK's infrastructure today that our Caribbean cousins did not significantly contribute toward. They literally rebuilt the UK's capital and significantly contributed to the growth of other cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. And after all these undeniable contributions, how did the story end?

In 2015, the UK Home Office started hunting down the surviving members of this generation, claiming that they had no legal right to be in the UK, and they should leave within 30 days or be deported to countries some of them had left before they gained independence. In the 30 years before 2015, the children and grandchildren of these Black migrants who built the UK had been economically and socially converted into an underclass that was overrepresented in crime statistics and invisible practically everywhere else except sports and entertainment.

If you knew all this, you'd have realised by now that your "Skilled Worker Visa" or "Care Worker Visa" is just Windrush Part II, and those "Jamo" people some of you look down on and warn your children against associating with, are exactly what the UK is going to turn your children and grandchildren into, if it isn't merciful enough to deport you and them first. They once used West Indian labour to carry out essential functions that they couldn't themselves, until their population recovered and they didn't need those blackies anymore. They're simply doing the same thing again, with a bit of extra English to massage your ego and make you feel important.

Ultimately your story in the UK will play out the same way as that of our cousins from across the Atlantic - economically and socially restricted to ghettos in a few cities where your children have only 2 real possibilities open to them: somehow make it as a professional footballer, or drop out of school and become a drug dealer in Hounslow with a Drill mixtape on Soundcloud. You and your kids will then be invoked by politicians as a "social burden on the British state" and become the face of the immigration Bogeyman they trot out to white voters every election.

History is very important.

If there's one thing that should take you back to the streets, it is this bill.

It starts slowly like this.

And ends with complete removal of term limits.

And now you have a life-long President like Museveni.

Don't allow Kenya to be like Uganda.

You have untill October 25th to submit your views on this Bill. Retweet.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti-Commentary @RealOmtatah]

As you start your day, do me a favor.

Comment, retweet, or quote #FormIEBC as many times as you can.

I only need 1000 mentions of this hashtag to kick-start the campaign.

The IEBC is our only way out of this mess now.

Retweet widely.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti-Commentary @RealOmtatah]

Stop everything you are doing.

Forget everything else any MP said today.

Or will say tomorrow.

And,

Watch this video.

Because this is the only video you should watch today.

Now retweet this video.

Because every Kenyan needs to hear Hon. Robert Mbui FEARLESSLY saying what every Kenyan wants to tell Ruto.

In Parliament.
